To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees’ footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.500 or more on a specified tile surface. A typical athletic shoe has a coefficient of 0. 800.

A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 118 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope (in N). N

Your answer is partially correct. A 60 kg crate is dragged across a floor by pulling on a rope attached to the crate and inclined 12° above the horizontal. (a) If the coefficient of static friction is 0.46, what minimum force magnitude is required from the rope to start the crate moving? (b) If Hk = 0.30, what is the magnitude of the initial acceleration (m/s^2) of the crate? %3D (a) Number i 276.52 Units (b) Number i 1.568 Units m/s^2
A man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor. However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls. What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line? Imagine that instead the floor is more slick, so that the crate feels a friction force half of what you calculated above. What is the crate’s acceleration?

Consider an object at rest on a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following is necessarily correct if we use the model of friction described in the videos and book? The force of friction on the object is smaller than or equal to μg FN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction and FN is the normal force exerted on the object by the surface. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the normal force exerted by the surface on the object. The force of friction on any object opposes motion; since the object is at rest, the force of friction is zero. The force of friction on the object is proportional to the object's weight, i.e. Ff = p.mg, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, m is the mass of the object, and g is acceleration due to Earth's gravity.
